[checking his watch] So, therefore, next check-in is in just under six hours.
Good. Muscles, that means that we have time to go to the party.
[She starts to walk away until Mitchell's voice stops her.]
No, it does not! It means we stay here out of sight and remain as inconspicuous as possible. With a bit of luck, the people on this planet will never even know we were here.
[The couple who had left the party before arrive in the gate room and are now just a few feet away from the team. They begin kissing intensely.]
Sylvana
[pushing him away for a moment] Don't. tell Hesellven, she is like a sister to me.
[They resume kissing. They stop and begin to walk toward the gate, where they finally see the team. Mitchell waves casually.]
Hi. There's nothing to be alarmed about. We um—
[The woman begins screaming then turns and runs out of the room, the man following her. She is still screaming. Teal'c and Mitchell head out after them, and Vala tries to follow, but Daniel holds her back.]
[Hesellven and Sylvana are catfighting]
What the hell are you doing? Stop it!!
Sylvana
She started it!
HHesellven
Hah! I think you started it when you kissed Heron.
[exasperated] Shut up! Shut up! You’re hostages! This is like a life and death situation here! Start acting like it.
Sylvana
Oh, please! You’re not rebels! We’re not deaf, you know. Everyone in this room knows it.
That doesn’t matter! You’re hostages! We’re your…we’re your captors! We’re heavily armed! There’s rules! There’s a whole school of etiquette to this!
[Sylvana stares at Dr. Jackson]
[sternly] Don't eyeball me.
CCicero
Excuse me. Did you really come through the Ring?
CCicero
It's a portal, isn't it, to other worlds?
Yeah, I'd be happy to show you how it works, once we get it up up and running.
CCicero
You want them to free your friends.
CCicero
Your demands. If you want to pose as the rebels, the first thing they usually do in situations like this is ask for the freeing of their imprisoned compatriots.
Sylvana
Don't talk to them.
[Walks toward Cicero] What's your name?
CCicero
Cicero. I'm a researcher here at the museum, and I believe you.
You want to get on the radio and explain that to the folks outside?
CCicero
Oh, I've tried. I've suspected as much for years, I've published dozens of papers, written a book. No one listens. My colleagues think I'm a bit of a joke.
Oh, Daniel, you've found a kindred spirit.
